p73ΔN antibody (mAb)

for p73DN antibody (mAb)Background

p73ΔN is a member of the p53 protein family which includes p53 as well as p63. Whereas p53 transactivates the retinoblastoma gene, p63 and p73 induce the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p57 to maintain Rb in an active, hypophosphorylated state. p73ΔN inhibits the functions of the p53 family in differentiation control, prevents myogenic differentiation, and enables cooperating oncogenes to transform myoblasts to tumorigenicity. p73ΔN is frequently overexpressed in rhabdomyosarcoma and is essential for tumor progression in vivo. These findings establish differentiation control as a key tumor suppressor activity of the p53 family.

for p73DN antibody (mAb)Immunogen

This p73DN antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 2-13 of human p73ΔN.

for p73DN antibody (mAb)Application Notes

This p73DN antibody has been validated for use in Western blotting (1 - 2 µg/ml dilution). For optimal results, primary antibody incubations should be performed at room temperature. The addition of 0.1% Tween 20 to all Blotto solutions may also reduce background. Individual optimization may be required. This antibody does not cross react with full-length p73.

for p73DN antibody (mAb)Buffer

PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide. Sodium azide is highly toxic.

for p73DN antibody (mAb)Positive Control

Extracts from cells transfected with p73ΔN cDNA can be used as a positive control for p73ΔN antibody.

for p73DN antibody (mAb)Storage

Antibodies in solution can be stored at -80°C for 2 years. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles and keep on ice when not in storage.
